surmounted by tower in which
there will be an illuminated clock.
The roof Is 10 be covered with red
Akron roofing" Obi yes, that is all
very nice for the people at Bottle
Creek; but, all the same, the travel

Battle Creek, Ann Arbor and other
rich cities may have palatial depots.

road company has begun operations

Washington avenue, East Saginaw,
for depot purposes. The lots are
just opposite the Bristol street bridge,
making access to Saginaw City quite

street bridge the convenience will be
multiplied many fold

other Michigan interests during bis
term as Governor, but also by the
gifts 10 various charities fer which he

The State. 2H Hg DIG w

communities. GenrAlger will no
make senatorial fight; and in THU
he is wise, since there are two strong
moneyed candidaesin the field, eacl
